Does legal expenses insurance make sense?
Legal disputes often result in high costs. Legal expenses insurance does not spare you from the dispute itself, but it does protect you from the financial consequences. A disagreement that is legally dragged on can happen to anyone at some point – whether as the accuser or the accused. Since the legal protection insurance for private persons takes effect in various legal areas of everyday life, a legal protection insurance can certainly be recommended. However, it is particularly important to insure the legal risks that could be used effectively – because not everyone needs all, or the same, insurance modules.
Who is insured under a legal protection policy?
You, as the policyholder, are insured as an individual in various roles, for example, employee, policyholder, patient, tenant, consumer, public transport participant, etc.
The legal areas that are insured are based on the selected modules.
In an insurance policy, you can take out coverage for yourself as an individual, or transfer it to your family members (living in the same household).
